Katherine looked at Ralph, “Now you know it. Will you tell Marshall?”
Ralph smiled, “I’m not in a position to interfere in your affairs. This kind of thing depends on your
choice. I won’t talk too much.”
Hearing what he said, Katherine was relieved.
But Ralph added, “Giving birth to a child is not a matter of one day or two days. It takes more than half
a year. You will have a big belly in the later period. There is no way to cover that up.”
Naturally, Katherine was also worried about this. She originally wanted to go back to visit her
grandfather’s grave and settle down there in the meantime.
But she didn’t expect Marshall to be able to find it, and she didn’t even expect Reuben to go back
again.
It was not a good place to settle down anymore.
Seeing Katherine not speaking, Ralph laughed, “Well, just let nature take its course. Maybe a few days
later, you want to share the joy of motherhood with Marshall. Don’t think too much now.”
Katherine pursed her lips but didn’t speak.
Ralph halt the car when they reached the shop.
When Katherine got out of the car, she saw someone else in the shop beside Margaret.
Katherine greeted Ralph and went straight in.
Margaret was inside the bar, and a man stood opposite the bar.
Katherine recognized him at a glance. He was the man in the photo Margaret showed her last time.
It seemed that these two people were still in contact after the last blind date.
So that meant Margaret could continue to date the man.
Margaret was stunned when she saw Katherine coming in, and then asked with a smile, “Kathy, when
did you come back?”
Katherine smiled, “I just came back today, so I come and have a look.”
She deliberately pretended not to know, “Your friend?”
Margaret said, “Yes, this is my friend. He passes by, so he comes in and has a look.”
Katherine nodded and greeted the man.
The man looked a little shy. Seeing Katherine coming over, he found an excuse to leave.
Katherine waited for the man to walk away before looking at Margaret, “Are you trying to date him?”
Margaret thought about it before nodding, “Yes, I think he is not bad, and he looks alright. I am also just
an ordinary girl. I can’t expect too much of others, so I will try to date him first to see if we are suitable.”
Katherine came over, leaned on the bar, and looked at Margaret, “Actually, I thought you had a crush
on someone, but I didn’t expect you to go on a blind date.”
Margaret was stunned and then became embarrassed.
She did have a crush on someone before, but she seemed to take it wrong. She seemed to have
overestimated herself and almost interfered in others’ relationship.
Thinking of this, Margaret felt a little miserable. She said, “I also thought I had a crush on that person
before, but then I realized I didn’t really love him. I just liked his conditions. His external conditions are
good. Actually, I don’t know him at all. This kind of feeling should be very superficial.”
Margaret lowered her head and said, “And I have found that he is not fond of me, so this kind of feeling
makes me uncomfortable. If you like someone but you’re not happy, then this kind of feeling can’t go
on.”
Katherine looked at Margaret and sighed, “It seems that you are hurt.”
Margaret shook her head quickly, “He doesn’t hurt me. Nobody hurts me. If I do get hurt, it’s because I
think too much and stubbornly insist on it.”
After saying that, she laughed, “Well, let’s not talk about this. What do you think of the man just now?”
Katherine just took a look and could not see anything, so she could only nod and say, “He looks not
bad, but I have no idea about his details.”
Margaret let out a sigh of relief, “I will get to know him. I really hope that someone can always stand by
my side. Sometimes I really envy you.”
Katherine felt helpless and bent over the bar lazily, “Don’t envy me. I have a lot of things to deal with.
All of it bothers me.”
After saying this, she remembered something, “Last time you sent me a message. You said Marshall’s
mother came over. Do you know what happened?”
Margaret shook her head, “I don’t know. She didn’t tell me anything. When she came over, she pulled a
long face and looked a little scary. When she asked me about your whereabouts, I said I didn’t know.”
Katherine didn’t understand why Frances inquired about her!
Could it be that she felt uncomfortable because I was not there and didn’t bicker with her?
Katherine was in the shop all afternoon. She didn’t eat much at noon but ate some pastries in the
afternoon.
When there was no guest, Margaret sat on a chair, cupped her face in both hands, and mumbled about
the little habits of that man.
Katherine could tell during this period, the man always came over and spent time with Margaret when
he was free.
Katherine smiled and listened, feeling that Margaret was like a little girl who had just fallen in love.
Although she said she was just lonely, she always had a smile on her face when she mentioned that
man.
Girls may be like this. They would easily enter a relationship. When someone was good to them and
was willing to smile at them, those young girls would be easily swayed.
Katherine looked at Margaret and felt somewhat envied.
If she and Marshall could get to know each other before the wedding, maybe their marriage would be
different.
Katherine sat in the shop until the evening, and as a result, Frances came before Katherine got off
work.
When Frances stood by the window, she immediately saw Katherine and seemed to comprehend what
had happened.
Sure enough, Marshall came back and so did Katherine. They must have gone to some somewhere
together.
Katherine also saw Frances, and she raised her eyebrows.
Frances came in after a while.
She went directly to Katherine and sat down opposite, “You left with Marshall this time?”
Katherine took a sip of milk, “No.”
“No?” Frances didn’t quite believe it, “You left and so did Marshall. Then you came back and so did he.
Didn’t you leave together?”
Katherine’s tone was a bit irritating, “We were not together. I left first, and Marshall chased after me. I
can’t help it. Your son has legs. Don’t think I seduced him again.”
Frances stared at Katherine for a long time before saying, “I’ve been sitting here for half a day, but you
haven’t offered me a drink. Is this the way you treat your guests?”
Katherine was taken aback and so did Margaret who was next to her. Their expressions were similar.
Neither of them understood Frances’s intentions.
Frances held her shoulders, strained her neck, and waited over there.
Katherine made a sign to Margaret, and Margaret hurried to make a cup of coffee.
Frances eased her expression, “Where did you go?”
Katherine thought about it and said, “I went back to my hometown and visited my grandfather’s grave.”
Frances took a sip of coffee and said, “The anniversary is over?”
Katherine frowned and said, “Yes, it’s over.”
Frances seemed to be down, “When your grandfather passed away, we actually wanted to have
someone up there. But at that time, we also suffered a crushing defeat. When your grandfather passed
away, Marshall’s grandfather was also struck. During that time, he was not in good health and we had
to send him to the ICU several times.”
Katherine glanced at Frances, “I know. I didn’t blame anyone.”
Frances let out a sigh, “Actually, at that time, Marshall wanted to visit your hometown.”
